Glaciers

Chapter 3

Naruto woke up to find a white ceiling. Well it's not exactly a ceiling.... More like white sky or something. Naruto sat up and rubbed his head, glancing around. So far, everything is white as far as he can see.

"Where am I? I could not be dead, right?" Naruto asked himself as he sat there.

Naruto laid down, he closed his eyes, the whiteness of the place he's in blinded him. Naruto heard someone walking over. He could hear heels tapping on the ground and the sound grew more and more louder and clearer as the source grew closer.

Naruto opened his eyes and sat up to look at the direction it came from, but no one ws there. He can still hear the footsteps, but it's coming for all directions. Naruto turned his head, searching for the source.

"Hey human" Naruto heard a voice of a child, he turned around and saw a girl.

The girl wore a white dress with fur linings on the end of the skirt, two blue sapphire on each hip, white knee socks, and a pair of navy blue heeled and pointy shoes, white gloves with white ribbon on it, a red apple in her hand, white choker with a sapphire pendant, a blue flower on her chest, her hair was as white as the freshly fallen snow with a blue crown on her head, a pair of sapphire earrings, and a hundred years old ice cold blue orbs staring into his soul, which unnerved Naruto. She was sitting on the checkered blue throne like chair with lots of glowing blue and white snowflakes around her, creating a beautiful image, like a girl that could be found in fairy tales.

Warning bells rang in Naruto's head. Although the girl looked innocent and looked like a gust of wind could knock her to the ground.... The glint on her eyes is very dangerous.

"Who're are you?" Naruto asked cautiously

"It seems like you're very interesting, human" the girl smiled, ignoring Naruto's question of whom she was

"You've been neglected by your family, what a pity. But then again, you won't be needing them anymore" the girl giggled, but she did not looked like she pity him at all, as she walked over

"My name is Yuki, Goddess of Space, Time, and Ice. I am the previous spirit that was locked in that whip, and now that you have freed me, you and I are bonded, I need a host for me to leave this prison and you need to get stronger." the girl, Yuki, said as Naruto's sewer like minds ape cracked and shifted, revealing a snowy mountain range

"The contract has already been made. From here on out I am your tenant and you are my host. I will assist you in the best of my ability and in return you must assist me if I ask. This is a great bargain, child. Either way, even if you refused I am afraid its too late for that" Yuki chuckled, not give Naruto time to react

"Wait, hold on!" Naruto held his hands up, Yuki ignored him.

"You have three hours to go back to your home, pack your bags and get out of there. They will certainly know that something is wrong if you continue to stay there, it's best if you leave with me. I will train you, I cannot have a flimsy host" Yuki said sternly and pushed Naruto ut of his mindscape.

Which is very painful, for first timers, by the way.

'Hurry up, human. Time is ticking' Yuki said through their mental link.

Naruto swam to the surface. The ice cold water nomarl could make anyone shiver and their teeth to almost fall off, however, it was strangely comfortable for Naruto, it must have been the work of Yuki. Naruto stared at the whip, brandishing it and lashing it towards the ceiling.

Pa!

When the whip made contact to the ceiling, a part of the ceiling collapsed.

"What in the world?" Naruto stared St the whip in hand, even if he did not touched a whip before, the weapon in his hand..... Its like he knew and practiced it for so long.

'I have placed automatic functions on you. But it won't last. A day should be enough to shake your tails' Yuki said, quite haughtily.

Naruto could only sighed and thought to himself angrily, 'Which Deity did I offend!? Come out, I promise I won't slap you!(ｏ・_・)ノ”(ノ_＜。)'

Normally, Naruto's temper is mild and not easily lost it, however, the hidden frustrations he had seemed to be triggered and now he was quite agitated for reasons he did not know.

And so, Naruto hurried back home, using Tree Climbing Technique to scale the house and opened the window in the atic. Naruto hurriedly head off to the closet and gathers some of his clothes, some weapons, books, scrolls, and necessities. He packed them all in a scroll given by Yuki. Naruto head downstairs, seeing the family went out to eat, Naruto robbed the house of food. Not leaving any evidence that it was him. Jumping from the kitchen window, Naruto made a mad dash towards the forest, heading straight to the nearest fence wall of Konohagakure. That and avoiding the patrols, Yuki served as Naruto's GPS to avoid detection. Naruto grabbed the whipe tied around his waist that looked like an waist belt more than anything, he brandished it and flicked it towards the wall, channelling chakra on it per Yuki's order, the whip stretched out very long and acted almost like a snake, embaded on the wall. Naruto channelled chakra to his feet and jump up, using the whip to pull him up. Flipping in the air, Naruto grasp the top of the wall and pulled himself up, cautiously looking around and slowly began his descend towards the ground.

Naruto flicked the whip once more and it retracted on its own.

"Hurry! Let's go this way!" Yuki yelled and urging Naruto to go northwest.

Naruto complied as he quickly head towards the direction. Although it's pitch black because there is no moon and its a cloudy night. Naruto could not see anything but he keep running, letting Yuki guide him away from hitting some Bush, branched, tree, roots, or boulders.

"Kid! You have four little tails tailing you. Hurry, there's a river up ahead, you can use its current to get to your destination faster!" Yuki urged, Naruto nodded, thanking his tenant inwardly as he pushed forward.

He was completely thankful because of his Uzumaki Genes, they naturally have large stamina and chakra reserves. Naruto, although exhausted, knew that if he stopped now, he would definitely be caught and it would be a bad thing. And so before Naruto could jump towards the river. A kounai hit him square on his back, startled at the sudden attack nd pain, Naruto tumbled down and fell on the river.

"Who was that infiltrator?" An ANBU with a Panther masked asked

"Only one was to find out is to capture it. Let's move!" The ANBU with a Rat mask ordered as they jump towards the river.
............

So how was it? Good? Or bad? Really, I was thinking of deleting Laid Back Shinobi but I just thought that I should rewrite it, seeing as I made a lot of mistakes on the original and dozens and dozens of plot holes. So this is the fixed one. Thank you for reading, hope you enjoy it.
